Homicide

DATE : January 18, 2024

Highway located at Purok 3, Brgy. Samon, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, one Jackylyn
Agustin, of legal age, and resident of the said place, was struck by Mitsubishi Montero

lane.

2. As a result thereof, the victim sustained fatal injuries, and was rushed to Premiere
Medical Center but was pronounced dead on arrival (DOA) by the attending physician.

which may have contributed to the failure of the driver to notice the pedestrian lane and
did not attempt to brake or avoid the collision until it was too late. The incident appears
to be a case of reckless imprudence resulting to homicide. The driver's negligent use of
a mobile phone while driving demonstrates a blatant disregard for the safety of others
and directly contributed to the tragic outcome.

2. This progress report provides an update on the investigation into the incident
involving reckless imprudence resulting to homicide, where the victim Jackylyn Agustin,
of legal age, was hit by a car on the pedestrian lane at Purok 3, Brgy. Samon,
Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.

3. As of January 28, 2024, the investigation faces challenges due to the

non-functionality of the CCTV cameras in the vicinity of the incident location. The
absence of CCTV footage has limited the availability of visual evidence crucial to
reconstructing the events leading up to the collision.

4. The investigator-on-case have conducted interviews and have analyzed witness

statements. Witness statements indicate that the driver of the car failed to yield to the
victim on the designated pedestrian lane, leading to fatal collision. Forensic analysis of
the car and examination of the driver's phone records will be conducted to determine if
distracted driving was a contributing factor. Witness statements and physical evidence
collected from the scene remain the primary sources of information. The driver of the
car involved in the incident, identified as Marco Reyes, 35 years old, was temporarily
detained at Cabanatuan City Police Station detention cell for proper case disposition
while a case for Homicide under Article 365 of the Revised Penal Code is now being
prepared by the investigator-on-case for immediate filing in court.

5. Final report will follow.
